I would always assume that if a train driver sees something on the track ahead, she is going to start braking. And I know that even if I believe I am going to be out of the way in time so they won’t have to stop (or hit me), merely causing a train to brake is going to cause inconvenience and delay and waste energy. So I’m not going to step in front of a train, ever.
